I guess the usual bores think school is illiberal because it restricts freedom. Education is empowerment. Sensible restrictions on social media is about eliminating a profound harm on young people & empowering them to envisage lives free of anxiety & limited attention.

"The deal this country makes with the people who serve it, in uniform, in classrooms, on building sites, is broken." @AlistairCarns could have gone on. This Labour government, and in particular the Prime Minister, came to office with no idea what to do with power.

It couldn't be clearer.
Vote Conservative: Get Farage
ALT Quote from the spectator: Badenoch says the Tories could win and claims there is a ‘high chance’ she will become prime minister. But asked explicitly whether she would be prepared to put Farage into No. 10 if he fell short of a majority, she made it clear the answer is yes: ‘This country cannot have another left-wing government.'

Healey's resignation is a wake-up call for Starmer and Burnham.
Stop repeating the mistakes of the Conservatives and get serious about funding our armed forces properly.
We cannot afford years more political chaos while our national security is put at risk.

Energy is not a luxury. It is essential.
That's why we have a plan to halve energy bills in the long term, and to help make sure everyone can afford their essential energy needs today.

While other parties abandon environmentalism , Liberal Democrats remain committed to the fight.
Our message is clear: if you care about protecting Britain’s nature, we’ll offer you a better deal than anyone else.
ALT Quote from Tim Farron on a green grassy background which reads: Liberal Democrats are leading the way to protect Britain’s nature and green spaces. We have led the fight in Parliament to tackle the scandal of sewage being dumped in our lakes and rivers, fought for better protections for designated sites, and we are the only party backing our farmers to be given the support they need to maintain our precious landscapes across the country.
